Chapter 1199 Actions
Chu Zhiyuan looked up into the distance.

The connection with Zhu Lingyun has been completely severed, but the extrasensory perception still shines through the cave.

Through his extrasensory perception, Zhu Lingyun's body was emitting a soft light.

This layer of light blocked his extrasensory perception and also severed his mental connection with his clone.

He was very curious whether Zhu Lingyun's mind had been completely changed at this moment.

When the Evil Lord descends, will he possess Zhu Lingyun's body, or will he overwhelm him? Will he completely annihilate Zhu Lingyun's mind and spirit, or will he merely corner him?

Is the arrival of the Evil Lord temporary or permanent?

Is Zhu Lingyun, this divine child, merely a tool temporarily borrowed, or has he been completely transformed?

Driven by this curiosity, he continued to study the cave.

The twelve experts from the Giant Spirit Sect knelt down, not daring to raise their heads, and shouted in deep voices, "Greetings, Divine Lord!"

"Hehe..." A rough voice came from Zhu Lingyun's mouth.

Zhu Lingyun's voice was originally clear and bright, but the voice he spoke at this moment was extremely inconsistent with his handsome appearance, making people feel awkward.

"Get up." Zhu Lingyun raised his hand.

The twelve experts were instantly lifted up by an invisible force, their legs straightening.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The crowd respectfully clasped their hands in thanks.

Zhu Lingyun said calmly, "I will not forget your contributions in descending upon this place, and you will surely be rewarded!"

"The descent of the divine being is a great joy and a great blessing for us. It is our duty to respectfully invite the divine being to descend!"

"Hehe..." Zhu Lingyun laughed heartily again, waving his hand and saying, "Alright, I can't stand this nonsense. Where is the imperial city?"

He pointed in the direction of the imperial city.

One of the youths clasped his hands and said, “Your Majesty, that is the imperial city. The divine weapon is damaged, which is the best time for us to attack the imperial city.”

"Hmm..." Zhu Lingyun nodded and said calmly, "The Imperial City..."

"My Lord, when shall we enter the city?" another young man asked hurriedly.

Zhu Lingyun glanced at him and said indifferently, "When do you want to enter the city?"

"The sooner the better!" the young man hurriedly said, "Besides the God Venerable, it seems that the God Venerables of the Myriad Manifestations Sect and the Flying Spirit Sect will also be descending."

"Them?" Zhu Lingyun frowned. "They certainly know how to join in the fun!"

“With the Divine Child here, the arrival of the Divine Lord should be the fastest and smoothest,” the young man laughed. “They should be a step later, but if we act too late…”

Zhu Lingyun said calmly, "Where are Zhao Ruilin and the elders?"

The young man hurriedly replied, "The sect leader and elders are dealing with experts from the four major sects."

"Quite busy, indeed," Zhu Lingyun scoffed.

The young man hurriedly said, "The experts from the four major sects are too arrogant, and they also possess treasures, so..."

"What treasure?" Zhu Lingyun asked calmly.

The young man was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "It is said to be a rare treasure from the Flying Snow Cave, extremely wondrous."

"What are the uses of this wondrous treasure?" Zhu Lingyun asked.

"It is said to aid in spiritual practice," the young man said.

Zhu Lingyun chuckled softly: "It's for calming the mind and soothing the spirit, isn't it?"

"...It seems to prevent one from going astray in cultivation."

"Hehe..." Zhu Lingyun let out a strange laugh and shook his head, saying, "Is it because you're worried about me?"

"Absolutely not, Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand."

"Hmph, misunderstanding!" Zhu Lingyun sneered, "Summon them over, I want to ask them myself if it's a misunderstanding."

"Yes!" the young man solemnly replied.

He pulled a bamboo tube from his pocket, held it upright in the sky, and pulled it sharply.

Suddenly, a mournful howl rose into the sky.

"boom!"

A beam of black light exploded in the sky, condensing into a giant hand.

The enormous black palm print remained suspended in the air, its palm upright, its fingers pointing directly at them.

Chu Zhiyuan observed all of this with curiosity, and vaguely judged that the Evil Lord's actions were somewhat strange.

Is it a power grab?

Or perhaps he is inherently domineering and cannot tolerate his subordinates being negligent or perfunctory?
We need to observe further to know for sure, but it seems this evil lord has ill intentions and wants to storm the imperial city.

However, he also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The fact that the evil lord did not discover his own cave indicates that he is not ridiculously powerful.

If it's not that ridiculously strong, then it's manageable.

The black palm remained still and did not disperse.

In no time at all, a group of middle-aged people rushed over, moving incredibly fast.

When they approached, they saw Zhu Lingyun standing proudly, his expression indifferent, his gaze sharp as lightning.

Hu Chengxiang, who was in the lead, hesitated and looked at Zhu Lingyun with suspicion.

Zhu Lingyun snorted, "You're not completely confused after all."

"God?" Hu Chengxiang hesitated before clasping his hands in greeting.

"You don't want to see me, do you?" Zhu Lingyun said coldly.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" Hu Chengxiang hurriedly clasped his hands and bowed respectfully.

He then noticed that Sun Haoyang was staring in disbelief, so he tugged at him.

Sun Haoyang then realized what was happening and asked hesitantly, "Is it really the God?"

Zhu Lingyun said irritably, "It seems you really don't welcome me!"

Sun Haoyang said, "Lingyun, are you kidding me?" "Junior Brother Sun!" Hu Chengxiang shouted.

Sun Haoyang said, "How could the Divine Venerable descend so quickly? We haven't even held a grand ceremony yet, it can't be this fast."

The elders and experts took action, while the remaining young people simply performed the usual rituals.

How could a ritual performed once a day possibly invite the gods to descend?
"Shut up!" Zhu Lingyun flicked his sleeve.

Sun Haoyang was sent flying and crashed heavily into a tree next to him.

"boom!"

Leaves are falling one after another.

He was embedded in the tree, his face contorted in pain.

A strange aura coursed through my body, like tiny knives cutting through me.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me!" Hu Chengxiang hurriedly said, "Junior Brother Sun was impetuous and outspoken, and had no intention of disrespecting me."

Zhu Lingyun snorted and glanced at him indifferently: "Where is Zhao Ruilin?"

"The sect leader has returned to the sect to deal with an urgent matter."

"What's the emergency?"

“A statue has appeared near our sect,” Hu Chengxiang said.

"What statue?"

"This one……"

"You're stammering like that guy?!"

He glanced at Sun Haoyang, who was struggling to get out of the tree trunk.

Sun Haoyang's dark face grew even darker. He gritted his teeth and angrily fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

The others immediately felt a chill run down their spines.

This deity has a ruthless hand!

Hu Chengxiang said helplessly, "It seems to be a statue of a god, and it is said to have three heads."

“Three poems…” Zhu Lingyun frowned: “These guys are joining in the fun too!”

"Does the Divine Lord recognize you?"

"We need to deal with those as soon as possible," Zhu Lingyun said in a deep voice. "How far are they from the sect?"

"It is said to be no more than ten li."

“…Go back!” Zhu Lingyun pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice.

Hu Chengxiang opened his mouth and looked towards the direction of the imperial city.

Zhu Lingyun's gaze swept over coldly.

“…Yes.” Hu Chengxiang solemnly clasped his hands in a fist salute.

Sun Haoyang walked over slowly.

Hu Chengxiang said, "Junior Brother Sun, let's return to the sect!"

"Is that statue so important?" Sun Haoyang asked, puzzled. "Could it be a threat to us?"

"Enough with the nagging!" Zhu Lingyun glared at him and snorted, "Does this Venerable One have to listen to you?"

Sun Haoyang clasped his hands and said, "Divine Lord, why don't we attack the imperial city first and gain the upper hand?"

"No rush," Zhu Lingyun said calmly. "The capital city isn't so easy to enter. If they're in a hurry, just let them have it."

"Yes." Sun Haoyang solemnly clasped his hands in a fist salute.

Hu Chengxiang breathed a sigh of relief.

He was afraid that Sun Haoyang's stubborn temper would flare up, and he would hold a grudge and act impulsively, clashing with the deity.

The God-Emperor is not the Sect Master; who knows if he can tolerate such insolence?

Then, Hu Chengxiang and Sun Haoyang led the way, accompanying Zhu Lingyun toward the Juling Sect.

Chu Zhiyuan frowned and pondered.

He floated out of the restaurant and headed towards the villa.

He first met with Gu Junqi and told him that he needed to go out of the city and might be delayed for two days.

Gu Junqi hurriedly asked for the reason.

Chu Zhiyuan then said that he was going to investigate the news about those evil sects outside the city.

After telling him to be careful, Gu Junqi didn't interfere much.

Having already received instructions from Lu Wanshan, they were not to interfere with Chu Zhiyuan's actions.

Chu Zhiyuan headed out of the city, following far behind the group from the Giant Spirit Sect.

He simultaneously illuminated a radius of a hundred miles from the cave and saw the experts from the four sects.

They were hurrying on their way and were not fighting the demons.

However, several of them were already injured and were treating their wounds as they traveled.

Their expressions were all high-spirited and excited; having slain a large number of demons, their morale was even stronger.

Chu Zhiyuan frowned.

They might be about to collide with that evil lord; clearly, Hu Chengxiang and his group were deliberately leading the way this way.

Thinking of this, he flashed and appeared halfway there.

In another flash, they appeared a mile away.

Zhou Chongming, who was on his way, suddenly changed his expression. He looked to his left and whispered a few words to a middle-aged man beside him, then headed to the left and broke away from the group of experts.

He quickly appeared in front of Chu Zhiyuan, and the two stood outside a grove of trees.
